Best of its kind

The area known as Fulflood in Winchester is popular for a number of reasons; not least its proximity to the train station and, having a good supply of traditional family homes, the excellent local schools.

It is here, in Fairfield Road, that a Victorian home has come to the market for sale. Vying for position as best of its kind, the house certainly puts a good case with its classical features, spacious and well proportioned accommodation and a delightful south facing garden.

Beautifully presented, visitors are met in the hall with exposed wooden floorboards, deep skirtings, ornate cornicing and doors to two separate reception rooms. The exposed floorboards continue in the dining room which also has an attractive fire surround whilst the sitting room is naturally lit by a large bay window to the front which fitted shutters and has a large open fireplace.

Towards the rear of the hall there is a cloakroom on one side and a cupboard on the other with a door in the middle through to the extended kitchen. This is a fabulous room with an extensive range of units, granite work surfaces and a large range style cooker. A wonderfully light room, there are two windows to the side aspect and French doors at the far end through to the rear garden. In this breakfast area there is a vaulted ceiling adding to the feeling of space.

Three bedrooms on the first floor all have stripped wooden floorboards including the large room at the front which mirrors the bay window downstairs and has fitted shutters. The bathroom is well arranged and there is an en suite shower room to the additional good size bedroom which has been created from a loft conversion, with a dormer window at the rear increasing the usable space and accessed via staircase up from the landing.

The original low brick wall marks the front boundary and encloses a tiled path and pebbled courtyard. The sunny aspect of the rear garden is a bonus and the area is arranged with a paved patio, central lawn with flower and shrub borders, two fruit trees and there is a rear access gate.
